A sophisticated novel about the excesses and lifestyle of the fabulously rich in 1895 New York and Newport.

The contrasts between rich and poor are stunning; she plans to ride a camel into her ballroom while a sweatshop burns and a mob invades the grounds of her mansion. Gives a picture of high society and high finance.
